Warning -> Suspension -> Ban...
[EDIT]
To clarify, you can go to Ban without the other two, or Suspension without a warning...it varies depending on the incident. But once you get to one, then next step is always forward, once warned, next time it's Susp or Ban. Once Susp, you're banned. After that, you're gone forever.

sickofit, shut up u muppet.
Take a deep breath and read your posts. You have nothing intelligent to say.....
In answer to why I posted this and didnt privite message:
I wanted people to read the response.
I just wanted to get a feel for how GOA are perceiving themselves and there own performance.
Sure many people are happy with the European setup.
Equally many people arn't. (lets not go into numbers but to say the 9% who have already left, dont count, shows your ignorance (or whoever posted that comment)
I am one of the people who isnt 100% percent happy. No biggy. Grow up a bit FFS
l work in techincal support and am interested in the completely different attitude GOA seems to have to the company I work for. One things for sure we wouldnt still be in business if we treated out customers like this. But then again its a different kind of sector than online gaming. The sort of customer satisfaction we aim for is closer to 97%. And this target has always been met (According to our surveys)
In resonse to the "why dont you just go play the US servers?" question.
Answer is simply. My lvl 50 character which I have spent so much time creating, is on the european server. And why should I go and buy the software again? Or spend money on another account? I would far rather play on the European servers if the level of service was a bit higher.....(hence the reason for the original post)
If you are happy with the service fine..... there is no need for you to comment.......

Hello everyone. I am a 27 year old man who lives in a shared house in Milton Keynes. I earn £24000 gross salary as an IT Consultant. I like to play computer games in my leisure time.
In addition to computer games and DAOC I like to go out with real life friends and have interesting conversations or watch movies, play football, the occasional skirmish and other group-oriented leisure activities. So far I haven't met my perfect woman but I'm sure that she'll be knocking on my door soon.
When I'm stressed I find it helps to simply stop whatever I am doing and look around me, marvelling at the fantastic complexity of life around me. Just looking at plants, insects and animals seems to calm me in a strange hypnotic manner. I revere our planet and wish we could truly be its guardians or keepers.
I get sad when I think about how much of our civilisation is based on selfishness and materialism. I've read about previous civilisations and other strange phenomenon such as life on other planets and this also fascinates me. I see people evolving, an increase in psychic ability, government, corporate and military personnel talking about evidence for intelligent ET life visiting Earth in high frequency today ever since 1947....
Evolve my brothers and sisters, look within yourself as everyone of us holds to keys to immortality, truth and reason for existence.
Remember, this is but a 3D virtual reality game on a 2D monitor screen within our 3D virtual reality. Life is but a game. Everything you do say and think will be etched into your immortal soul forever. When you die, you will regret many of the things you have done and will do. Your chance for evolution towards the great light that we came from is now.
/em comes out of a trance-like state and falls back to sleep

Censi, you are a bloody schmuck... honest.
The poll was up for quite awhile and, in my opinion, gave a good, even representative overview.
Until last night, when... hey wait... I wrote all that before. It seems you are not reading my posts, Bonzi Buddy.
About 20-30 people checked the "No, but I still play" last night.
I am certainly not a GOA fanboy... if they kept fucking up, I would be amongst the mob, screaming for their blood.
But measuring a company's performance by a factor they are not responsible for (ie the routing problems) is just bullshit.
Since day one their service has improved steadily.
Go and do your techsupport (I rather think you are the janitor...), schmuck boy, it seems you don't really have a clue what you are talking about.
Gee, 97% customer satisfaction? Who are you working for? The Red Cross?
I am doing marketing and CRM since years and the first thing you learn is: the customer is never satisfied.
It's true, isn't it?
Oh, and
Lanceloc

Well you are getting closer to showing signs of intelligence (/claps), but you still need to evolve a bit more.
Im not measuring there performance based on all the routing problems??? (mind you thats not to say they handled the problems well)
My negative thoughts on GOA are based on the total package... (as the poll and the original post clearly says???)
Dont get me wrong DAOC is a wicked game and the people on HIB are a gr8 bunch.....
Its just the only bad experineces I have with the game are always generated from things GOA do...
Can tell you one thing, wait untill Starwars Galaxies comes out and you will see how a seasoned MMRPG company handles itself.
Sure there will be fuck ups, but Ill be very surprised if EA would allow all there hard work to be undermined by connectivity problems that last for days and poor customer support. And you can be sure they will be a helpline you can call 24X7.
What evers going on over there, it should take hours not days to fix routing and comms problems. (yep thats probably down to Wanado )
Anyway lets end the flame war, we just see things differently. Im glad that you see the glass as 1/10 full, when I see it at 9/10 empty.

SW:G will be run by Sony/Verrant, not EA. Just to get your facts straight.
Have you played EQ?
If yes- it's quite gutsy to claim that S/V are the big pros in the business...
If not- then sorry, you have no idea what you are talking about.
EQ is a bugfest, and their EULA is a manifest of gaming industry nazism.
Sure DAoC is a great game, in my opinion even the best game I've ever played considering long term motivation etc.
So what about GOA?
I don't want to indulge in patch discussions- the subject has been talked to death.
Customer support? - the subject has been talked to death.
Third server? - the subject has been talked to death.
Conclusion: except for the routing, there are no critical issues at the moment.
And please spare me your comments à la "Oh, signs of intelligence."
...you are far from being the crown of evolution yourself, Censi.
If you act like a tard, you get the response you deserve.
Oh... and I am glad I play on Hib/Prydwen otherwise I would consider defecting to Albion.

You really are pretty crap for a troll sometimes.
For starters Sony/Verant are the big fish of the mmporpg market. They did it first and they did it most successfully to date. I have a lot of experience with EQ (as several of my guild members in DAoC do) and although it has problems it is still a better game than this. That isn't GOAs fault, it is something that Mythic need to address, but GOA certainly aren't showing it off in its best light currently.
In fact your statement there is pretty much bollocks. You obviously don't know what you're talking about so I'll leave it at that mr expert.
So you aren't a troll so much as an angst filled Lurikeen then.

And yes, blabla, Sony/Verrant are the big fish. So what?
I don't think you can deny that EQ is buggy... can you?
EQ is the better game?
De gustibus non est disputandum.
I am angst ridden actually. Mostly I fear you...

You could have a level 52 druid with 250 days /played for all I know (don't forget that tailoring!). I'm sure the experience on Naggy pickups will help a lot but unless you've at least killed something on a par with the AoW then you don't have room to speak from experience really.
You did say "it's quite gutsy to claim that S/V are the big pros in the business" didn't you? I was merely pointing out that you were wrong. You seem to agree with me.
Did I try to?

Pros like in "professional"... not like in "big".
So what's the problem then? I would say you rather agree with me...
And I actually play games to have fun... in other words: I played EQ for two years to have fun... not to excel in uberness or to make up for a small cock.

Ah yes, now you back down fast and resort to the "but I'm having fun" plea. Stop trying to come off as an expert if you don't have any credentials to back it up with and you won't get caught out like that in future.
Just because you shout the loudest doesn't mean you have anything worth listening to.

LOL
IMO EQ = EX-GOOD GAME
Its a kill, loot, rest, repeat ad nausea type game. I couldnt be arsed to get my paladin over level 16 a year ago and now the increased levelling speed and improved model gfx still doesnt overcome the same facts of it's monotony. The interface is still shite too and it hates my soundcard (Guillemot Maxisound Muse).
DAOC = Flawed genius
Two major hiccups with DAOC:-
1) Its a paper, scissors, stone game
2) Frame rates are unacceptable in large RvR situations
Minor flaws:-
1) XP Treadmill too long
2) Not enough content - world, spell variety
3) Memory leak

So, according to this statement, experience comes from being Uber and killing big things? And not knowing the in's and out's of a game through all the levels? Is that a General SotL view?

I don't think I ever claimed that I was an expert, did I?
Credentials!! LOL!! Are we playing a game or are we applying for a fucking job here? I actually thought, as delusional as it might appear, that one plays games for TEH FUN.
Not everyone is such a dedicated powergamer like your highness and his guild of primadonnas.
I admire your attempt of coming off as intelligent and serious.

And I shout as long as I want to - I, at least, don't pretend to shout for 4000 other players.

That thing about blockading LB is one of the tamer ones about us I've heard to be honest
